Side pleats were original way how to achieve better movement of sleeves. If course the whole garment has to be sized properly including the pleats.

thank you very mach :smile:
would you recommend doing it?
I have tried it before and it didnโ€™t work :face_with_peeking_eye: :pensive_face: (box one did tho)

I always like trying new things, so I would try it :slight_smile: but thatโ€™s me. Just make it big enough if you want it to have a function. D. P. Coffin wrote in his book about shirt that pleats should be at least one inch on each side. Sadly it is harder and harder to get some proper informations, google about knife pleats in shirt pattern, itโ€™s not much information.
